Not sure on Harris. Hard to see X and Hall not getting major time next year.

A agree with Kirt Warner - put great athletes on the field and good things will happen. Having KF-BF coach ‘em up, not a good idea.
Disagree 100%. Playing both positions provides perspective and depth of understanding offenses. Again, it’s not about the Xs and Os, it’s about the Jimmies and Joes.
Fine. Maybe see what Ostrenga can do split out wide then. He spent his high school career split out wide and has been practicing with the offense since he arrived. He looked great catching the ball in the fall.

Daniel Helm OAKLAND RAIDERSPlayed split out in high school and showed the ability to run routes and catch the ball like a receiver. Looked a little bit faster and more sudden as a senior. Showed run after the catch ability and acceleration and also got stronger, was showed up in his blocking. Will have to adjust to playing on the ball and we assume with his hand down more although he is going to be able to continue to split out and stand up in the slot if a school needs hi, to. Former baseball commit who shows athleticism, coordination and has good upside as a tight end prospect. Has some weight room work to do but ceiling is high.
Its pointless cmhawk. I've tried for months to get this clown to stop posting all this made up crap about high scoring Hayden, and what he supposedly did against GOOD teams. No one listens or responds , (because there is NO response to make). The facts are out there, and all they have to do is look it up. Of course since the facts don't back this shit up, we get this never ending babble about how Iowa used to score at will against all these good teams. TOTALLY false of course, but since it doesn't fit the narrative its ignored, and instead the ongoing attempt to baffle us with bullshit. .
Practice? One can only wonder what the brain trust is cooking up over there in the laboratories right now.
My fear is this is one of those games where they think they are geniuses and want to show fans that they are wrong. I really think that KF thought he could sneak this team through to 3-0 in the normal ugly fashion and be ranked vs Michigan with a chance to shock the world and shut up the fans. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. Now he’s got BF over there with some beakers and tape trying to devise a plan to get to 17 and hold on for dear life.
Remarkably disrespectful for a 23 year tenured coach who quite frankly has even more success at the end of his career than he did when he started… Odd stuff how you guys articulate things. Does anybody treat you like that in your life?
I don't disagree that it's fine to expect more from the offense. The offense has been just plain bad the last 2 years, and marginally better than that in previous years.
Snyder is arguably the best football coach not named Saban in the last 30-40 years in college FB. And I'm not certain Saban could have done what Snyder did at K-State. What Snyder did at K-State is one of the most remarkable things I've ever seen.
To Iowa, I'm not sure if it's just lack of talent on the offensive side or scheme that is the issue. If I were to guess, it's probably both.
I continue to be amazed that people think KF and his staff create gameplans specifically to thumb their noses at fans. Does anyone really believe this? They want to win just like anyone else would. He (KF) probably does think the best way to win this Saturday is to be opportunistic on offense and not put the defense in bad positions. Given the limitations that Iowa has on offense, it's probably the only path to victory.
I'm always amazed that people actually come on here and post that our HC coach does anything because he's directing it as an FU at the fans. Like he actually is taking their feelings into the thought process. Its the height of narcissism to even think that......(The fans, not KF).....
The hawk defense isn’t some super complex equation particularly relative to other power 5 systems. One of its strengths is how simple it is. Consistent. They do what they do and do it well. There arent many opponent specific schemes implemented weekly that aren’t the base 4/2/5 or 4/3/3. The biggest change was adding the cash cornerback which is what we play a majority of the time.
Oh yeah, I am sure they will. Like has been mentioned, them getting this much time on ST this year is usually a good sign they will be major contributors next year.
I know every fan base has ridiculous fans but I continue to be amazed by the pure ignorance of some or Iowa's fanbase.
Yeah, he was not good. I don't understand why Fry just didn't pull a great athlete from the track team to play QB and run Wildcat with Dwight and Banks in the backfield. Would have been unstoppable and a National Championship.
Spot on. Kirk excells at managing the program, recruiting, character of the team, etc...
He's freaking horible at offense. You think he told Norm or tells Phil how to run the D?
Nope.
His fingerprints are all over the O year after year.
